<h1>Displaying a website using a URL (iFrame)</h1>
<p>You can enter the URL of a website in an HTML container. When the document 
 is executed in MicroStrategy Web, the HTML code is retrieved from the 
 website. This type of HTML container is an iFrame, which is an HTML element 
 allowing one HTML document to be embedded inside another. </p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Note</B></span>: In Design View in both 
 Desktop and MicroStrategy Web, the website’s URL is displayed within the 
 HTML container.</p>
<h2>HTML containers in MicroStrategy Web</h2>
<p>When you display the document in View Mode, Editable Mode, or Interactive 
 Mode in MicroStrategy Web, the website is displayed within the borders 
 of the HTML container. For example, an HTML container can use a URL to 
 display the MicroStrategy Resource Center website. </p>
<p>In Flash Mode, the website is not displayed. Instead, the website’s 
 URL is displayed within the HTML container. </p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Note</B></span>: URLs that point to the 
 same MicroStrategy Web Server as the one that you are using are not supported. 
 This prevents you from opening the same URL to avoid an infinite loop.</p>
<h2>HTML containers in PDF and Excel</h2>
<p>In PDF View in Desktop, and when the document is exported to PDF or 
 Excel, the contents of the web page are retrieved. The text is displayed 
 without any of the formatting from the HTML code on the web page. The 
 formatting is determined by the formatting of the HTML container, not 
 the HTML code within it.</p>
<p>For example, the image below shows the URL<span class=Code> www.example.org</span> 
 as it is displayed in Interactive Mode in MicroStrategy Web: </p>
<p class="whs1"><img src="images/HtmlContainerWeb.gif" x-maintain-ratio="TRUE" width="498px" height="101px" border="0" class="img_whs2"></p>
<p class="whs1">&nbsp;</p>
<p>The image below shows the same website in PDF View in Desktop: </p>
<p class="whs1"><img src="images/HtmlContainerPdfView.gif" x-maintain-ratio="TRUE" width="458px" height="93px" border="0" class="img_whs3"></p>
<h2>To insert a HTML container that uses a URL </h2>
<ol type="1" class="whs4">
	
<li class=p><p>Open a document in <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Design</B></span> 
 or <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Editable</B></span> Mode. </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Do one of the following:</p></li>
	<ul>
<li style="list-style: disc;" type=disc class=p><p>Click the HTML 
 Container icon <img src="HTML_Container_icon.gif" x-maintain-ratio="TRUE" width="22px" height="22px" border="0" class="img_whs5"> on the toolbar. </p></li>
		
<li style="list-style: disc;" type=disc class=p><p>From the <span

	</ul>
	
<li class=p><p>On the Layout area, click and drag in the position in 
 which to insert the HTML container. </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Right-click the HTML container and select <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Properties 
 and Formatting</B></span>. The Properties and Formatting dialog box opens. 
 </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Select <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>iFrame</B></span> 
 for the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>HTML type</B></span>. </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>In the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>iFrame Source</B></span> 
 field, type the URL of the website.<span style="font-weight: bold;"><B><br>

	<br>

	Note</B></span>: The text &quot;http://&quot; is already automatically 
 filled in, but you can edit or remove it. </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Click <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>OK </B></span>to 
 save your changes and to close the Properties and Formatting dialog box.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>The URL is displayed in the HTML container in Design View. To view the 
 URL’s website, you must view the document in View Mode, Editable Mode, 
 or Interactive Mode. </p>
